Risk Management for Signals
When using Signal Mode, Amabit lets you configure comprehensive risk management for each webhook. These settings apply automatically to every trade triggered by the signal.
INFO
Risk management settings are only available in Signal Mode. In Strategy Mode, all risk management is handled by your TradingView strategy code.
Take-Profit Targets
You can set up to 5 Take-Profit targets, each with:
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Profit % | 0.01–1000% | Target profit distance from entry price |
| Close % | 1–100% | Percentage of position to close at this level |
| Order Type | Stop-Market or Stop-Limit | How the order executes when the target is reached |
Example — Gradual profit taking:
| Target | Profit | Close | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| TP 1 | +1.5% | 25% | Close 25% early to lock in quick gains |
| TP 2 | +3% | 35% | Close another 35% at moderate profit |
| TP 3 | +6% | 40% | Close remaining 40% at maximum target |
TIP
The total Close % across all TP targets cannot exceed 100%. If you want the entire position closed by Take-Profit, make sure the percentages add up to exactly 100%.
Stop-Loss Targets
Up to 5 Stop-Loss targets with the same parameters:
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Loss % | 0.01–1000% | Maximum loss distance from entry price |
| Close % | 1–100% | Percentage of position to close |
| Order Type | Stop-Market or Stop-Limit |
Example — Graduated stop-loss:
| Target | Loss | Close | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| SL 1 | -2% | 50% | Close half the position at 2% loss |
| SL 2 | -4% | 50% | Close the rest at 4% loss |
TIP
The total Close % across all SL targets also cannot exceed 100%.
Trailing Stop
A trailing stop follows the price and triggers when the market reverses by a specified amount:
| Parameter | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Callback Rate | 0.1%–50% | How much the price must reverse from its peak to trigger the stop |
How it works:
- After entry, the trailing stop tracks the highest price reached (for long positions) or the lowest price (for shorts)
- If the price reverses from the peak/trough by the callback rate percentage, the trailing stop triggers
- The entire position is closed at market price
Example: You buy BTCUSDT at $60,000 with a 2% trailing stop callback. The price rises to $65,000 (new peak). The trailing stop will trigger if the price drops 2% from $65,000 — i.e., at $63,700 — closing the position with $3,700 profit instead of letting a reversal wipe out gains.
Order Type for TP/SL
For both Take-Profit and Stop-Loss targets, choose between:
| Type | Pros | Cons |
|---|---|---|
| Stop-Market | Executes immediately when price is reached — more reliable | May experience slippage in fast-moving markets |
| Stop-Limit | Exact price control — no slippage | May not fill at all if the market moves through your price too quickly |
Recommendation: Use Stop-Market for Stop-Loss orders (ensuring you exit even in volatile conditions) and Stop-Limit for Take-Profit orders (capturing the exact price you want).
How TP/SL Orders Are Placed
When a signal triggers a trade:
- The entry order (buy or sell) is placed first
- After the entry order fills, Amabit calculates TP/SL prices based on the actual fill price and your configured percentages
- All TP and SL orders are placed as reduce-only orders — they can only close the existing position, never open a new one
- In Hedge Mode, TP/SL orders inherit the same position side as the entry order
